But I am listening to Guns n Roses since 1991 and of course I know the "Paradise City" video very well, how many people were there on that night? it really looks like 150 000 or something on the video.. incredible.

Well the meadowlands was packed and it was sick. During deep purple's "smoke on the water" they lit the stands on fire and like four rows were burning. then everyone jumped down from the seats to the floor and security couldn't catch them all. There were snapple stands toward the rear of the floor selling bottles of snapple for $3 a peice and the crowd completely mowed over them, so there were piles of snapple with everyone just taking it. the snapple stands were reduced to rubble. I believe The meadowlands arena banned open floor seating for concerts after that.
It was insane. There were ambulances lined up outside with all the people who had broken bones and heat stroke on stretchers and shit. And my buddy and his girlfriend got so wasted before the show that they lost their tickets and had to sit on the car for seven hours and wait for us, lol.
As you can see In that photo, I made my way to the front, and thought I was going to die. the crowd would lift you right off your feet. I don't know how I made it out alive, lol.
Quite an experience...
